We have been in the loft conversion industry for over 30 years and know exactly how to convert your loft to add significant value to your house. Not only is adding a loft conversion cheaper than moving house, it also provides you with valuable extra space in your home.
Gable up rear dormer? Is the most popular type of loft conversion in Bromley and it’s not hard to see why. It’s an attractive way of adding extra room onto your house and creates versatile rooms because of the additional headroom it creates. As well as this the gable; the vertical triangular wall between the sloping ends of a roof can make your house more unique as it can have different details and shapes.
If you want to add extra space to your loft, a popular type of conversion in Bromley uses individual dormer windows. The reason why this style is admired by many is because not only do they provide you with the required space, but they also add character to your house.

Depending on your taste and what you think will suit your house the best, there are two basic styles of dormer windows. If your house is a bit older, a popular choice is to go with the traditional pitched roof dormer. The reason why this is a popular option is because this type of dormer is generally not as wide as the flat roof dormer and often includes decorative features which add to the appearance of the building and give it more character. As well as this, customary style dormers provide extra light and a much needed room in the roof.
For people who own newer houses or those looking to make their houses more contemporary, the modern flat roof dormer is a popular choice. This type of conversion makes ideal bedrooms, playrooms, living-rooms and even bathrooms. Another advantage of dormer windows is that you can have a view of what’s outside rather than just looking at the sky and they are easier to open and close than skylights.
A perfect example of when you may want this type of extension is when the existing loft space that you have is not big enough for the conversion you want. It creates additional headroom for the staircase and new room or rooms, making your planned conversion possible. This is particularly suitable if you plan to add an extra bathroom to go with your new rooms as the increased height created by Dormer provides additional height above the fittings.
Dormer conversions in Bromley are loved by many because they offer extra protection to your existing floor space by building an extension either to the rear, front or to the side of your property. This style offers you additional floor space and extra width to your new room. There are several types of roofs for a dormer conversion, these being pitched, flat or pent roofs meaning that you’re bound to find something to suit your taste.
